Located within the Ad´elie Basin is a ~184 m thick laminated sediment deposit, the Ad´elie Drift, ideal for examining regional changes in ice sheet and ocean dynamics. Here, we examine the ratio of reactive beryllium-10 to reactive beryllium-9 ((10Be/9Be)reac) in a marine sediment core obtained from the Ad´elie Drift to assess these changes during the Holocene epoch (11.7 ka BP to present). The (10Be/9Be)reac record provides insight into changes in freshwater input, primary productivity, and scavenging efficiency, while removing the influence of particle size on 10Be concentration. During the early Holocene, (10Be/9Be)reac ratios indicate increased meltwater discharge from ca. 11.7 to 10 ka BP, as grounded ice retreated from the Ad´elie Basin and adjacent bathymetric highs. After ~10 ka BP, beryllium isotopes are influenced by scavenging efficiency and dilution controlled by ocean currents and accumulation rate, operating alongside meltwater input, suggesting there are additional factors to consider when using (10Be/9Be)reac as a proxy for ice shelf cover and glacial dynamics.}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science}, organization = {Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) 20H00193}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science 20J21145 PE17712 P18791}, organization = {New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) ANTA1801}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN)}, organization = {Spanish Government CTM2017-89711-C2-1-P}, organization = {European Union through FEDER funds}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Holocene}, keywords = {East Antarctica}, keywords = {Cosmogenic nuclides}, keywords = {Beryllium isotopes}, keywords = {Scavenging}, title = {Beryllium isotope variations recorded in the Ad´elie Basin, East Antarctica reflect Holocene changes in ice dynamics, productivity, and scavenging efficiency}, doi = {10.1016/j.qsa.2022.100054}, author = {Behrens, Bethany C. and Jiménez Espejo, Francisco J. and Escutia Dotti, Carlota}, }
